A comparative study of perinatal cultural customs of 151 subjects was performed based upon interviews conducted in their home. The subjects were from two groups; AH group (N=114) who were 40 years of age and over and who resided in rural villages, and K group (N=37) aged under 40 and who were from an urban area. Participation in ceremonied customs was significantly higher among the younger group (K group) as a finding for the postwar generation. Analysis by type II qualification method was performed based on whether or not perinatal ceremonial customs were participated in. Results for the AH group showed participation in ceremonies related to pregnancy and delivery while for the K group ceremonies related to child growth and development predominated. These results indicate a concern related to pregnancy and delivery among the pre-war generation and a desire for health growth in the child among the post-war generation. Analysis by type III quantification method was performed with individual independence as the first component and historical aspects as the second component. Results showed a tendency for the younger generation to depend on perinatal ceremonial customa for psychological support. Perinatal customs have undergone changes with the flow at time, especially since 1960 when location of deliveries began changing from the parental home to medical facilities. In addition, an explanation for the high rate of participation in ceremonial customs by the younger group being the result of perinatal ceremonies representing a type of rite of passage is also suggested by the results of this study.
